## INFRASTRUCTURE
----------------------------------------------------------------
IP address:      185.53.179.146 (CA, Toronto)
Hosting org:     AS206834 Team Internet AG
Registrar:       Dynadot Inc

## TLS CERTIFICATE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Issuer:     none
Status:     INVALID chain

## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-03-31 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)

Last verified:     2026-06-29 08:20:35 UTC
Neutralised:       2026-06-23 00:00:29 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-06-25 19:29:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

This domain, daily208.com, is identified as a credential theft operation impersonating regional news outlets. The site is currently offline but remains a documented threat in security databases. Analysis indicates it was designed to harvest user credentials through deceptive news-themed landing pages.  Infrastructure analysis reveals the domain was registered on March 31, 2026, through Dynadot Inc, resolving to IP address 185.53.179.146. Security vendors on VirusTotal flagged this domain with 14 detections out of 95 scans. The domain appears on two distinct security blocklists, including community-driven threat intelligence platforms. No legitimate news organization affiliation was verified during investigation.  The domain has been taken offline, though residual DNS records may persist. Organizations should maintain blocklist entries for 185.53.179.146 and daily208.com in perimeter security controls. Users who previously accessed the site should reset credentials for any accounts entered on the page. Security teams are advised to monitor for similar domains registered through Dynadot with recent creation dates, particularly those mimicking local media identifiers.

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
